      "특히 해외에 있는 친구랑 거래를 할 일이 있었는데, 이더리움을 통해 돈을 보내고 받는 게 생각보다 훨씬 빠르고 간편해서 놀랐어요. 기존 은행 시스템보다 훨씬 투명하고, 중간에 복잡한 절차도 없고요. 작은 경험들이긴 하지만 이런 것들이 쌓이면서 제 삶에도, 그리고 제 주변에도 이더리움이 긍정적인 변화를 주고 있다는 걸 느껴요.\n",

With the decentralized nature of Ethereum, we can launch crowdfunding activities worldwide, and all fund flows can be clearly recorded on the blockchain. Community members can check the use of funds at any time, which not only broadens the source of funds, but also improves the transparency and credibility of fund management.",

Now, I’m an ETH maxi. As a citizen of my country, I’ve always been interested in one question: why can laws be so easily ignored? How can we make contracts enforceable and finally make the law work? Today, after five years on my crypto journey, I have the answer. And that answer is Ethereum — a tool for autonomous individuals. I believe in a bright future for humanity. I believe in a bright future for Ethereum. Thanks to every builder for making this future real.",

Reasons? 1. Government can't control their money 2. Easier to transfer across the country and outside of the country as well. 3. Banks are very difficult to deal with 4. Since the demand for stables is high, They can transfer it to fiat whenever they want. Some of you may not see it because you're focused on memecoins but people with genuine problems are turning to crypto.",

      "I started as a local group in my city Warri south of Nigeria, two years ago, has metamorphosed into a vibrant community of over 400 people with some already developing smart contracts and getting immersed in Ethereum. One of the most significant differences Ethereum made in my community - the web3 Warri - was bringing together individuals with no background in blockchain and transforming them into smart contracts developers. Ethereum has helped my community - the web3 Warri - overcome some of these challenges 1. Centralization: Members of my community now understand that they have control over how they use the internet and their data 2. Seamless and cross-border payments: Most members of my community work as freelancers and remote workers. And receiving their payments have already been a challenger but with Ethereum, they have been able to receive their payments via stable coins and in almost an instance. 3. They also don't need to provide numerous documents to support their identity in making and receiving payments.",
